Anna Akhmatova (June 23, 1889 - March 5, 1966) is considered by
many to be one of the greatest Russian poets of the Silver Age.
Although true fame and recognition did not come until her later,
Evening, her first poetry collection, had caught the attention of
many prominent literary critics of the time and helped to solidify
her career as a writer. One of the forefront leaders of the Acmeism
movement, which focused on rigorous form and directness of words,
she was a master of conveying raw emotion in her portrayals of
everyday situations. Her works range from short lyric love poetry
to longer, more complex cycles, such as Requiem, a tragic depiction
of the Stalinist terror. During the time of heavy censorship and
persecution, her poetry gave voice to the Russian people. To this
day, she remains one of Russia's most beloved poets and has left a
lasting impression on generations of poets that came after her.
